Question. Who would've finished Brook faster??

[Godsfly]

Of course Cotto is more accomplished then Brook but Cotto hasn't been the same fighter since he got beat down by Margs, plaster or no plaster. Whether its getting beat to a pulp by Pacquiao or embarrassed by Trout, Cotto hasn't had the level of finesse and success like he used to. Canelo should have been able to get Cotto out of there especially considering his huge size advantage.
I agree Golovkin is shooting himself in the foot complaining about wanting the best fights with opponent A while passing up opponent B and signing time and again with opponents C and D. I still think Golovkin would be a fool to abandon 160 and campaign at 168 where the same problem of ducking is likely to continue. Maybe things have changed but I remember a year ago Groves suggesting Golovkin just stay at 160. Not to mention all the other 168 guys who are calling him out (I think Regale and Froch did for a second) probably have no real intention to fighting him. This all excluding Ward. I could be wrong but Golovkin really backed out of that one. It's the same people saying he should move up to 168-175 that are calling his middleweight presence as a joke and nothing there to garner respect.

trout was a very good fighter himself. do you just read blogs or actually watch the fights? trout apart from that knock down with canelo did VERY well for himself. trouts only 3 losses are against lara & canelo. has brook ever faced lara or canelo? no. you know what would happen if he faced lara? knocked out of the ring. canelo? knocked out of the ring. how can u knock cotto for losing to a fresh trout & say thats the reason why cotto would lose to brook. cotto is a higher quality fighter then brook. period point blank. cotto is use to fighting naturally bigger guys then brook. period point blank. brook wasn't even proven the best of his class at welterweight before fighting golovkin. it's levels to this and cotto is of a much higher level then brook. you are all over the place my friend.

This sounds like someone clutching at straws because his hero looked awful against a man two weight divisions smaller.

Since when is a 5th round TKO not a good thing? Your "man" TBE got embarrassed by Marcos Maidana of all people. Amir Khan put more damage on Marcos in one round then Money May in 24 rounds. Sad!

Cotto lost to Trout and would lose again to him. Trout almost beat Canelo which was his best almost win. But if I were to put Kell Brook and Miguel Cotto in the ring at 154 at this point in time, I'd completely side with Brook for a close UD or SD. Cotto isn't the same guy that beat Mosley and Judah. IMO he'd get demoralized with a combination of exhaustion and accumulation of a constant sharp attack. I'm not saying he wouldn't win some clear rounds and lay some damage on Brook but I don't see Brook whilting. I see Cotto whilting to a degree that would be acted on by Brook. An unbiased opinion would say that it would be a toss up. Personally I think Brook would get the W

God...again..I'm not saying in any way, shape or form Golovkin put on a stellar performance as compared to what he's capable of. I actually looked forward to this fight because Kell is a big Welterweight with the tools and size that puts him in a better position to make a competitive fight over every other Welter. Of course it was a long shot, why would Kell not get beat down by Golovkins power? But I thought the combination of speed and power would give him a chance to really throw the kitchen sink at him. He did what he could but ultimately it was a mismatch and couldn't compete. Brook did come in as a healthy middleweight however. It wasn't like Marquez moving up as a career featherweight to fight Floyd at Welterweight, grossly undersized. Even with Khan vs Canelo, Canelo was massive compared to Khan. But yes, obviously Kell hasn't fought someone at 160lbs before and that in itself is a fair cop out because this was a lose lose situation in terms of looking for a victory. Mad respect for Kell taking this fight and committing the way he did in the ring.

So Floyd, who has never come in above 150 on fight night, was too big for Marquez, who weighed 148lbs on fight night, but somehow GGG was not too big for Brook?

Oh gosh I think I just puked my stomach out, your hypocrisy is so disgusting.

Ps. Marquez was p4p 2 when Floyd fought him, can you tell me what rank Brook was p4p?

[FrankieClutch]

Canelo probably goes the distance with Brook. It wouldn't be about who is the better fighter, it's about styles. GGG is a hunter pressure fighter and Canelo is a counter boxer puncher

First of all, Maidana clearly lost twice, and second of all, Maidana fought in the same weight class and actually outweighed Floyd by 17lbs on fight night.

Tell me what weight class Brook campaigns at again?

Tell me what was the size diffence on fight night?

Yeah, I thot so.

[hugh grant]

The standards for GGG are so High, just like they were foir PAC before him.

Nelo couldn't stop old ssm so he's noit stopping brook.

GGG stopped brook and people look at the negatives?

[Jsmooth9876]

I'm not sure, because in boxing all it takes is one punch. But Golovkin did a terrible job trying to finish Kell off when he was hurt. He abandoned the body, abandoned the game plan, and was swinging like he had one too many beers and got into a bar fight. There was nothing methodical about it.

I guess in the end, he got the job done so it doesn't really matter but he could've possibly got a first round stoppage if he had fought a little smarter. Imo.

I agree, the GGG we saw swinging wildly is not the normal composed guy we see when he gets someone in trouble. Seemed he wanted to really end it early and was a bit out of control. In the end he broke the guys face and stopped him before the fight even was half over so it didn't matter but he did look a bit sloppy in there at points

Nobody said Golovkin is the "great one" or my great one for that matter. I usually leave that kind of delusional demagoguery to Floyd J. Mayweather fans. I'm not saying at all that Golovkin doesn't deserve to get criticized. What I am saying is people that are a formal fan of "TBE" are trying to write him off and close the book on a "overhyped" "bum" that is hardly average.
How does Canelo take out Kell in 6 when he went life and death with war torn after thought Miguel Cotto

No you don't. Otherwise you wouldn't have made this pathetic thread based on your obviously hurt feelings. You're no better or different from the delusional "sycophants" you're complaining about.

Golovkin did what he had to do. No shame in that. But if you're expecting no criticism (for a shi t fight) when every other fighter in history has been critisized, then you better pull up your skirt and thicken your skin.

Your hero was embarrassed by a welterweight. You'll get over it eventually.
